ROSES OVER DAFFODILS

“Why do you always find a way to make me hurt you Arian? Do you like making me look like a fool? Do you like embarrassing me?” Each question being punctuated with a slap. I don’t bother fighting back yet I settle for hiding my face and pleading for him to stop. 

All that I can do is hope that he tires out soon with each hit I see a white light and I know that if he doesn’t stop soon I’ll pass out. I can’t recall what I did this time to make him so angry I tried to make the night go as smoothly as possible. I knew it would be a big night for him as he’d just made partner at his firm. They hosted a dinner in his honor, I tried my best not to embarrass him but with Damien’s standards not embarrassing him is never an easy task.  

“You think it’s okay to stare at other men right in front of me, I shouldve known better than to marry someone at classless as you!” Stare at other men? I wouldn’t dare look at anyone else but Damien he is the love of my life or at least I thought he was. Things are completely different from what they were before, There was a time Damien would rather die than hit or disrespect me he is so different from the man he used to be.

I’m dragged out of my thoughts by Damien throwing me into the bed. “Go clean that shit up!” He hissed while simultaneously grabbing his keys and leaving the room.
